SAN ANDREAS -- Kids can see the fruits of their labor during Family Harvest Day in the Garden, when they will harvest the “pizza garden” they planted in May at the Master Gardener Demonstration Garden.

In addition to creating pizza on a cracker from their harvests, children will also have a chance to make garden salsa after a veggie scavenger hunt that will send them on a quest for the ingredients. Other activities include make-and-take bird feeders, making seed tapes for fall planting, and creating tussy mussies, small bouquets of herbs they can keep.

Harvest Day runs from 10 a.m. to noon Sept. 13 at the Master Gardener Demonstration Garden, 891 Mountain Ranch Road near the Government Center. The new event aims to connect families with gardening and introduce them to fresh fruits and vegetables and is held in collaboration with the spring Kids Day in the Garden, sponsored by the UCCE Master Gardener Programs, UCCE Nutrition Program, First 5 Calaveras and Prevent Child Abuse Council Calaveras.
